Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero’s suit is no doubt bespoke, but Izzy still objects to the cut and construction. Exaggerated shoulders are fine for matadors, but so much padding in a suit makes it look like the hanger is still inside. Also, while the stiffness of a jacket’s front is a matter of taste, and granting that the suit is a kind of armor in the modern world, there’s no need for it to look and feel like a steel breastplate.

There is something weird about the perspective in that shot. His head is forward, but the angle of the shoulders make him look like he’s leaning back. Perhaps it is created by the overstuffed shoulders or perhaps it is caused by the angle of the photograph.

I’m more dismayed by his inability to tie a symmetrical knot myself. Who does he think he is, Casey Affleck?
